Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Any tips for how to make moddable games?
As someone said, make the game data-driven is a good first step but I will say, also have some sort of way to add additional game logic. For C++ games, lua is really easy to embed the interpreter in your C++ binary, read in the files from a directory (like /mods) with the C++ filesystem api new in C++17, and it's very easy to use SoL to write an API for lua specific to your game. Many games use lua in this way and it's probably the most common mod path setup.

Script Interoperability
I've only ever done this from C++, but it's using the same lua C library, so should be durable from C as well. You can look up how sol2 or any other wrapper libraries do it.

CBN Changelog: December 3, 2022. Improved LUA support in progress!
This version relies on a Lua C++ wrapper called sol2 to hide Lua stack management from the developer, so creating new bindings can be done by adding a few lines of human-readable C++. It still has to be done manually, but at least sol2 is able to automatically figure out types of objects being bound, so it's not much different from our de-/serialization code.

Have you considered using sol2? https://github.com/ThePhD/sol2 Or if you don't want to switch over, you can at least look at their code and see how they handle this.

jluna: a new Julia <-> C++ Wrapper
It is half of a pun as I was inspired by [sol3](https://github.com/ThePhD/sol2) which is a lua <-> c++ wrapper. Sol means sun and the julia c-api prefixes all it's functions with jl, luna means moon so it is pronounced "jay luna"

A new C++ <-> Julia Wrapper: jluna
If you want to be portable I'd recommend C++ and Lua, I used those for years and it runs on everything and there's this most amazing wrapper API which was a huge inspiration

Also, if anyone wants to see a hastily-written ELF loader that I haven't cared enough about to go back and clean up in C++, I have one here.

Weird things I learned while writing an x86 emulator
I suggest MIPS.

I actually wrote VeMIPS for this specific purpose.

NASA Selects SiFive and Makes RISC-V the Go-to Ecosystem for Future Space Missions - SiFive
Unfortunately, I don't remember specifically. It was about when I wrote VeMIPS and was also working on figuring out an alternative ISA for a 3d printer board, and I'd noticed that a specific conversion instruction was missing on it. Maybe it was moving a double-precision register to the general purpose registers on 32-bit? Not sure anymore. I can look over IRC logs maybe to find out.

rvscript: Fast RISC-V-based scripting backend for game engines
This is the exact purpose that I wrote VeMIPS for.
-
libriscv: Multiprocessing for Compute Functions
Looks similar to vemips. Same rationale as well (embedding within a game or simulation).

Chip8 Emulator for Android written in C++ using NDK and SDL
Probably wouldn't be too hard to add Chip8 as a backend to VeMIPS, though VeMIPS presently doesn't run on Android (only Win64 and in Javascript using asm.js).

Zelda 64 has been fully decompiled, potentially opening the door for mods and ports
I personally dislike disassembling MIPS, and I wrote VeMIPS!

1Hz Minecraft Redstone Computer
However, I did end up releasing VeMIPS, which is an embeddable MIPS32r6 emulator/VM which is heavily configurable, has a dynamic recompiler, and has instruction-level execution granularity, meaning that you can tell it "execute 10 instructions and return". This lets you implement things like cost per instruction, virtual CPUs with different performance characteristics, and so forth.
